GIVING AND TAKING.
Some Pertinent Remarks on a Subject o
Great Importance.

Some Pertinent Remarks on Il Subject of
Great Importance.
In many case, it is doing more for
person to receive gift or y service
from him. than to give q, gift or to
render service to him. Just because
it is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive, we have no right to be always
taking that blessing to ourselves; but
we should permit others to gain their
share of it. A child is helped by being
privileged to give gift to his parents.
or to render a service to some one
whom he loves and honors. A scholar
IS worth more in class, through con-
tributing to the stock of its common
knowledge; and the class is worth
more TO him in consequence. Mind
and character are develo ped through
their exercises, and are gamers
through their outlay; hence, in every
sphere of life there is an attainment
which is possible only through self
denial and self-expenditure. Our duty
toward others involves q looking at
their needs in more directions than
one; and in order to the meeting of
their need of this aid to their highest
development of mind and character,
we must often permit them to be
givers and doors. when we should re-
ally find more personal enjoyment in
comforting favors than in receiving
shem.-S. S. Times.

Captive in an Organ Pipe.

An amusing story is going about,
with the Archdeacon of Winchester for
its hero. A few days since, the Arch
deacon took u party of ladies over the
Cathedral, and. having entered the
sacred edifice, put the key in his archi-
DIAGONAL pocket. The organ happened
to be under repair, and some of the
pipes were lying about. The Arch
deacon is a small man. and his evil
genius prompted him TO give his
friends practical illustrations either
of his own smallncss or the vast dimen.
sions of one of the pipes by crawlin g
into it. But either the Archdeacon
was bigger than he supposed, or the
pipe was smaller; for having screwed
himself inside, there the reverend gen.
tlemen stuck. The key of the church
being in his pocket, and the ladies
being unable to extract him, the Arch
deacon had to remain there till the
workmen came back from dinner. II

,itber in reason or a wholesome regard

either in reason or a wholesome regard
for health, or that such coarse and
heating food is demanded by our sys-
TENS. yet the fact can not be ignored.
We will have bacon at any cost; and
many a man, if compelled to go with
out it for day, imagines that he is
enduring great privation.
It behooVes the farmer, then, who
must have bacon-who considers it one
of the indispensables-to give his
hogs the attention that the Importance
of the dead carcass demands. 1t is
very common and very thriftless and
Improbable practice to give very little
attention to the coming porker in the
spring, summer and fall, and lavish all
attention and food on the maturing
few weeks preceding killing time.
This is the common practice all over
the South and largely in the West.
The true policy is to push them from
the start, even while yet pigs,
the object being to induce a
thrifty, even growth and devel-
opment of bone, muscle and stom-
ach. The more rapid and healthful
the growth the earlier will the animal
attain the size and weight desired, and
the cheaper the bacon. The wheat
and oat pastures are now open; and
while the fallen and shattered grain
and the grass will greatly help the
growth and pro gress of pigs towards
bacon, we ought to provide additional
resources. The grain will soon be
consumed, and the grass often fails
under severe drought, and the hogs will
receive check which involves loss
unless other provision is made. There
ought to be patches or small fields Of
sorghum, collards, Spanish peanuts,
etc, from which daily rations of sue
calent food may be drawn, or into
which the hogs may be turned
to root for themselves Sorghum cane
Indian corn (stalks and ears) and col
lards, in addition to fruit from the.
orchard. will afford successive sup
ply of the very best and most healthful
food for hogs. Cold weather is not IA
vorable to fattening and is only con-.
venient for saving the pork. The hogs
ought to be ready for the knife by the:
beginning of December We firmly
believe if this plan Of feeding regularly
and literally on the most natural (and.
consequently healthfuD foods be prac-
ticed, plenty Of clean water and clean
quarters be provided, and all conta-
gion and infection be guarded against.
-so-called-would practically
cease to be the dread pest that it now

What Corn Needs.

Corn needs the greatest support
when it is earring and filling out the
ears for the crop. 1t is at such time
the sustenance is cut short, the crop
fails to fulfill the expectations of The
farmer 1t is folly to plant corn
ground too poor to produce a fail

Summer Feeding of Hogs.

The tastes and habits of the average
Southern farmer and the universal
demand of the negro population, es-
pecially our farm laborers, have
made the hog one of the most i'm

WHY HE LEFT THE BOX.
An Incident of Ball Game Between

An Incident of Ball Game Between
the Buffalo and Providence Teams.
From the New York Evening World.
The base ball convention just ended at
the Fifth Avenue brought out many good
stories of the diamond, which was told in
odd corners while the league committee and
the brotherhood representatives were en-
loving their conference behind closed doors.
Among the stories related was one about
Jimmie Calvin, over which Harry Wright
and group of league notables laughed
heartily and well
The incident happened at Buffalo, where
the Providence team were pitted against
the home players. Calvin pitched for the
Blsons and the ball was hit four times in its
first few starts toward the catcher. -Four
successive errors for the Buffalo infield fol-
lowed these four taps on the sphere and
four Providence men got unearned bases.
Gravely, then, Jimmie" laid the ball
down in the pitchers box, beckoned to the
change pitcher to come in from right field,
and he himself started out.
